Okay, so We, the Staff (TM) thought we were being all smart-assed and had beaten Fearless Leader to the punch for posting about the Halo 3 announcement. So We won't get into repeating what Fearless Leader said.
We, the Staff (TM)'s two cents? Looks quite interesting, and the 360's engine is certainly showing itself off well, but We hopes to hell they work on the music for the final. It sounds like it was produced well enough, but it seems like rather a departure from the previous games. Perhaps too symphonic and higher-key, compared to the generally lower-key stuff found in the first two games. That, and Cortana's dialogue here is coming off as somewhat melodramatic. Where's her usual sarcastic wit? We thinks that aspect of her character has become so idiosyncratic that its absence is quite noticeable, even in a brief teaser such as this.
Nevertheless, it'll be good to finally get the conclusion of this (mostly) well-developed story.

I plan on posting an analysis of the teaser this weekend, however to comment on a few of your comments:
- I thought the music was great. It definitely had the Halo themes all throughout, however the spirit was high simply because they're announcing another Halo title.
Check some game sites, and you'll see some dicussion on the music to this effect. While a bad moment for Earth and the UN, it's a great moment for Halo fans.
As for Cortana, all I'm gonna say is this: At the end of Halo 2, where was she and who was she with? In the teaser, who does her dialogue sound like?
